Killing/catching armadillo

Set a live trap parallel to a solid wall. They're damn near blind. They'll hit a wall and walk right along it right into the trap.

Put against the wall and put a 2x10 or 2x12 from the trap to the edge of your flower bed at an angle that creates a funnel right to the trap. Works like a charm.

Only thing you have to figure out is what direction to face the open end of the trap (what direction is he traveling)

I put potting soil in my traps. Seems to work but who knows

That’s what my father in law said, but my neighbors would freak??

Back in 09, I had tried trapping one in my front yard with no success. So I was talking with a buddy about it. He suggested a late night stakeout.

So on a Saturday evening, I watered the yard for a couple hours hoping to attract him. Then I put our baby monitor on the front porch where he frequented. Around 11pm, we had action. Buddy and I went out the back. He made his way around one side of the house with a crossbow while I went to the other side with a .22 if he missed him. Well, he didn’t miss. Stuck his nasty arse to the ground! And man did he stink! Haven’t had one in the yard since.

I shoot them with 22 about 1/2 way back so they run off to die. That way I don’t have to fool with them.

If you can find his hole (the one in the ground), throw a smoke bomb down it and lay a board over the top with a brick on it. It Works

Traps are difficult. I learned the techniques, none worked. Finally I just got up in the early morning for a few days and finally shot it.

When I lived in subdivision I shot them with CCI CB .22.Unbelievably quiet,air rifle is louder.
